Training seminars from Musicademy at The Worship Conversation

The Big Church Day Out’s new “bolt on” event is called The Worship Conversation. Taking place on 26 and 27 May in West Sussex, UK, this two-day conference is designed for worship leaders and worship teams. This new more intimate event is designed to have a very unconferencelike approach and is themed around four “conversations”:

Worship and The Holy Spirit

Worship and The Church

Worship and The Bible

Worship and The World

In the afternoons Musicademy will be running a series of hands-on practical workshops. These will include:

Band SkillsPractical ideas for the entire team exploring the mechanics, dynamics and emotion of making better music together. Including ideas for timing, tuning, tone, groove, dynamics, instrument interaction, communication and matching theme, lyrics and music.

Vocals 1Basics of good vocal technique including breathing, posture, warm-ups, harmonies and mic technique.Practical worship leading skills for vocalists.

Guitar MasterclassExpand your range of chords, strumming and picking techniques with these practical ideas for acoustic guitarists in worship teams.

Keys MasterclassA whole range of techniques, tips and ideas for playing better keyboards in a worship band.

PA Session inconjunction with SFLWhy is it so hard to get good sound in church?Putting the mix together

Our team will include Andy Chamberlain, Tim Martin, Philly Lopez, Pat Smith and Marie Page. We’d love to have you join us.

It’s just £50 to book tickets for this two day event. Musicademy will also be at the Big Church Day Out the weekend before.

@Elaine I know the BCDO have an event in November planned for the very far north of England which we are involved with. We’ll announce details in due course.
I’m not sure if Musicademy can make a training day viable ourselves. If a church wanted to host and underwrite the event we’d certainly look at it but we’d be looking at paying tutors for a day travel time each way as well as the event itself so costs really start to rise.
